Mandy Moore Says Acting Easier Than Singing

January 8, 2002 – IMDB reports Mandy has admitted that her life as an actress is easier than life as a musician. Moore admits, “Actors don’t realize how easy they have it. Musicians are always travelling. We’re constantly having to change plans at a moments notice. Actors, when you’re on location you have such a nice regimented schedule. It was such a wonderful experience compared to what my life is like normally. Musicians are used to changing time zones, getting on planes and feeling as if your body’s still moving when you’re not.” Mandy says despite the added work involved with music, she doesn’t plan on giving it up, “I still want the main point of my career to be music but I’m ready for more acting. I want to dive in head first.”

Mandy Moore Webmaster Urges ‘Cry’ Support

January 4, 2002 – Contributed by MaNdYsTrUeLuVeR: Mandy stated previously that she was outraged that “Cry” was not receiving any radio-play, if at all, very little. As fans, we need to vote for her material whether it is on the radio or MTV’s TRL so that are support is obviously shown.

“Cry” is something completely different out right now and the focus is primarily on the vocals of the song, which is hard to see these days with today’s Pop. In addition, the video sports a new, more grown up image to Mandy Moore, and quite honestly she looks fantastic!

So, as a fan and webmaster of my own site MandyNews (http://www.mandy-news.cjb.net) I urge all who support, love, and want to see or hear more of Mandy, to vote for the song at there local radio station, while if at all possible, placing a vote at MTV for the video as well.
